Complete Anime Final Strike Tier List [UPD 3.0]

Updated on October 2, 2025: Added the new units and EVOs from Update 3.

The best units in Anime Final Strike depend on which role you’re looking to fill. You need to have ground, hill, and air DPSs as well as supporting and farm units. That’s why I’ll structure this tier list according to those three categories as well as showing you the best starter units. Here’s my Anime Final Strike tier list and guide.

Anime Final Strike Unit Tier List

Here are the best units in Anime Final Strike for progression and Raids/Infinite including base versions and Evolutions. Note that units are also ranked within their categories left to right. You’ll also find more info, tips and explanations for best units below. I won’t talk much about Yuneko+Evo and Namu since they’re the only farm units and you should always include one in any team. Also note that I’m assuming you’re rolling the best stats you can with Perfect Stat Engrams. I’ll show you how to farm them along with Gems and Traits below the tier list.

DPS Highlights

This list includes the best DPS units in Anime Final Strike loosely rated from top to bottom. Vejita, Roku, Arrow and Ichiru Masked are great beginner options to go for since they’re great starters and later have amazing Evolutions for end-game.

• Whitebeard
• Red Pirate
• Benomaru

Unit	Notes & Best Trait
Whitebeard EVO Secret	• Amazing new Secret that has Full AOE DPS • One of the best if not the best units for Infinite • Can buff your units so it has some support capabilities • Best Trait: Emperor
Vasto Lorde Secret	• The best Dark Elemental damage in the game and overall one of the best DPS units • Unlike Vesh who is a Secret base and Evolution you can get Vasto Lorde from the Ichiru Mythic • The best unit in the game to get the Emperor Trait on for a single powerful placement. • Massive AOE damage that shreds Infinite • Best Trait: Emperor
Toeji EVO Mythic	• While he cannot receive buffs from your supports or White Beard Toeji scales damage and range as the rounds go on • This makes him incredible for Infinite • Even if enemies leave his range you’ll do a damage burst on them with Split Soul Katana • He also does amazing DPS, Bleed and can dodge debuffs • A Meta unit for sure • The Best Mythic in the game currently and the best Mythic for Emperor or The One • Best Trait: Emperor or The One
Naname EVO Mythic	• These new Mythics from 3.0 are freaking crazy power creep • While Naname isn’t as OP as Toeji he still deals really good DPS due to his guaranteed crits • You just have to combine him with slow and stun Supports • He also stacks self damage and crit buffs so he’s a really good Infinite unit as well • Best Trait: Frenzy
Vesh Secret	• Best Light damage in the game and the second most powerful DPS overall due to flexibility • Can be both Physical and Magical • Also great with Emperor or The One trait • Either Vesh or Vasto Lorde are a must-have for Raids/Infinite • Best Trait: Emperor or The One
Benomaru & Evo Secret	• While the base Secret is good the Crimson Commander Evo is currently a Meta DPS and one of the best damage units in Anime Final Strike • Emperor is a must-have but Frenzy is also good if you’re already using Emperor on Vasto Lorde or Vesh • Top-tier for Infinite • Best Trait: Emperor or Frenzy
Jolis Evo Mythic	• Currently a Meta unit both for progression due to massive AOE damage and the ability is OP • Not only that but the Jolis Evo is arguably the strongest unit for Infinite • A must-have on any team • Best Trait: Emperor/The One
Leona Evo Mythic	• Same as Jolis in terms of progression, massive DPS • Not a must-have for Infinite but Leona is certainly one of the best units for it since she has reliable sustained DPS • Best Trait: The One/Emperor
Magma Admiral Evo Mythic	• From C to S with the Evolution • Magma Admiral deals amazing AOE damage now and has power crept his way to the top of my Infinite team (For now) • His DPS is overall Meta level for both progression and infinite • Just make sure to use Frenzy • Best Trait: Frenzy
Mohawk Evo Mythic	• Another example of power creep that drastically jumped tiers with the Evolution • He’s a freaking blender and an amazing boss killer with Frenzy • I have to do more testing but I also feel like he’s Meta level for both progression and Infinite • That said don’t use The One or Emperor on these two as they’re more your secondary DPSs • Best Trait: Frenzy
Super Roku Evo Mythic	• The base Roku is already a great starter but Super Roku EVO is in my personal opinion a meta DPS up there in the ranks of Secrets • If you don’t have secrets yet then just slap Emperor on this one and it’ll carry you in all modes • Really good for Infinite • Best Trait: Emperor or Frenzy
Black Roku Evo Mythic	• Both the base Legendary Black Roku and the Black Roku Rose evo are great units for two different things • The base Black Roku is an amazing starter unit • The Rose Evo version is in my opinion a meta DPS similar to Super Roku Evo • I wouldn’t necessarily use Emperor as a trait here since there are better options but The One is pretty good • Best Trait: The One or Frenzy
Vejita & His Evolutions Mythic	• The best Burst/Nova damage Mythic • The base version of Vejita is great for beginners and overall a strong starter • Then the Evolutions also carry you into the late game and Raids/Infinite • Vejita Magin is stronger than Vejita Super Ascended but takes grinding • Hybrid/Air DPS • Best Trait: The One
Acu EVO Mythic	• The new Acu evolution is actually a really good Hybrid DPS option • Great for Infinite • One of the most Meta Mythics in the game • Best Trait: The One
Gorp EVO Mythic	• Meta Ground unit for progression • Also one of the best Ground units for Infinite • Best Trait: Frenzy
Macro Evo Mythic	• Overall Macro is a good unit but for the first time in a longer time he’s not a power creep unit which I think is healthy for Anime Final Strike • A lot of the recent units including the Akainu and Mihawk EVOs are really strong and it kind off upsets the balance of the game • Either way Macro is right in the middle, not necessarily Meta but not weak either • He’s not Emperor or The One material so slap a secondary DPS trait on him and he’ll do fine • Best Trait: Frenzy
Buddha Evo Mythic	• Buddha deals more damage than Macro in my opinion but he’s still not necessarily a Meta unit • That said his DPS is more worthy of putting a The One on him due to his placement • This way he’ll be your carry in Infinite if you don’t have other higher tier options for The One • Otherwise just put something like Frenzy • Best Trait: The One
Arrow & Evo Mythic	• Arrow is my favorite Fire Force Mythic due to how great of a starter the base version is • Also, it can deal some great damage so overall the Fire Force Mythics are all really good • Best Trait: Berserk
Arthor & Shinra Mythics	• While lower on the S-Tier line both Arthor and Shinra are excellent sustained DPS units for all modes • I prefer Arrow due to the starter potential but once you Evo these they can do some great damage-per-second • Best Trait: Both work really well with Frenzy
Enorai Evo Mythic	• A special shoutout to Enorai who is an amazing Infinite unit due to his sustained DPS, flexibility and his ability • Him and Whitebeard will carry you in Infinite • Best Trait: Talon
Asto Evo Mythic	• This is an A-Tier for progression • B-Tier for Infinite • Best Trait: Berserk
Noile Evo Mythic	• Noile is actually incredibly good for Infinite due to her ability • I’d say she’s up there with Vasto Lorde and Ben as well as Leone but not as good as Jolis • For Progression she’s kind of like Asto and not a must-have • Best Trait: Berserk
Dark Captain Evo Mythic	• If we’re talking straight DPS the Dark Captain Evo is IMO the weakest Mythic because he doesn’t bring any utility unlike Jolis or Noile • He’s still pretty strong overall for a Mythic • That said I’d say he’s sup-par for Infinite like Asto • Best Trait: Berserk
Minato Evolution Mythic	• You can get the base Minato via Tailed Beast Capsules from the Event and then evolve him with Kunais into the Yellow Flash • He’s an incredible sustained DPS unit and one of the best Mythic ones • Meta DPS unit and in my opinion one of the must-haves for Raids and Infinite farming • Best Trait: The One
Fire Hashira Evolution Mythic	• An alternative to Vejita in terms of Burst/Nova damage • One of the best Fire DPS units • Best Trait: The One
Sasoke Hebi Evolution Mythic	• Hybrid/Air DPS • Great secondary DPS options to the ones above • Can compete sustained DPS wise with Secrets and most Mythics • Better than Naroto Sage but not Naroto Sage Master • Best Trait: Frenzy
Naroto Evolutions Mythic	• For the Sage Evolution, same as Sasoke but becomes Hybrid/Air at the third upgrade and is a bit weaker overall • That said the new Sage Master Evolution is a Meta DPS and you should absolutely go for it as it out DPSs most Mythics including Sasoke Hebi • Also, the Sage Master has buffing potential which gives it some utility • You can evolve it into Sage Master by farming and getting the Master Sage Scroll from the Tailed Beast Event shop • Best Trait: Frenzy
13th Commander GamePass Mythic	• Really underrated mythic with great DPS • The best part is that you can get it by just progressing the GamePass • A powerful option for Emperor if you don’t have Super Roku Evo or Secrets • Best Trait: Emperor or The One
Akoza Evolution Mythic	• One of the better sustained DPS Mythics • Great with Frenzy or Berserk and not the best target for The One or Emperor • Your go-to Earth DPS • Hybrid/Air DPS • Best Trait: Frenzy
Kabuto King Mythic	• The base version sucks but the Evolution Kabuto King is actually pretty good sustained DPS with long range • Best Trait: Frenzy or Talon
Yano Evolution Mythic from Game Pass	• Easy to get since Yano is at the end of the gamepass and while the base version is okay the evolution is much stronger and actually competitive when compared to other Mythics • Best Trait: Frenzy
Kamado (Sun) Mythic – Epic Banner Unit	• Get him on the Epic Banner because the Evolution is amazing DPS • Really good for Infinite • Komado Sun is in the upper tiers of the Mythics but can’t be compared to Secrets • Best Trait: Berserk

Support Highlights

These are your buffers, slowers, stunners and overall extremely useful units to complement your main DPSs. The best support unit to go for early is Ulquiora because he is one of the best Hybrid units in the game. Then, take a look at some great options below for mid to late game. Here are all Hybrid & Air units in the Support category:

• Ulquiorra at Upgrade 5 Unevo & Upgrade 9 for Evo
• Ice Admiral & Evolution starting at Upgrade 4
• Red Pirate

Unit	Notes
Red Pirate EVO Secret	• His ability is one of the best support tools in the game for your main DPS • Is a Hybrid unit so he’s very flexibile • Great for Infinite • Despite having support capabilities Red Pirate EVO deals some of the best DPS in the game • Best Trait: The Emperor
Gojoe EVO Mythic	• One of the best supports in the game due to damage amplification that is full AOE • He does a domain expansion that increases damage to all enemies inside of the domain and nullifies defenses like shields • You do get a 35% chance miss debuff when the domain ends but this is excellent for bursting down bosses • Best Trait: The One
Maheto EVO Mythic	• Another damage amplification support that is applied on hit and is weaker than Gojoe but has no downsides • Also, Maheto summons copies of enemies every 5 kills on marked targets for additional off-DPS support • Overall quite a decent support unit with good secondary-DPS with a good trait • Best Trait: The One
Tobito & Evolution Mythic	• You can get the base Tobito via Tailed Beast Event Act 2 from the Event shop and then evolve him with Tobito’s Mask • Currently he’s one of the best support units in the game • For Raids and Infinite I prefer him over Ulquiorra slightly and he’s a much better support than Ice Admiral and Dark Beard • Best Trait: The One or Talon
Jokar & Evolution Mythic	• Another great support DPS option to add to a team • Works great with Frenzy due to the cooldown reduction that makes Jokar’s ability better • Best Trait: Frenzy
Ulquiorra & Evolution Mythic	• Overall one of the most useful units in the game both for supports and DPS • Easy to access Hybrid • Best Nature unit in the game • In my opinion a must-have for Raids/Infinite • Best Trait: Frenzy
Haumia (Mindbreaker) Mythic	• One of the better crowd-control support Mythics • I love it for Infinite • The Frenzy cooldown reduction makes it really good • This might be my favorite support in the entire game personally • Best Trait: Frenzy
White Hunter EVO Mythic	• Great CC Support option • Meta Support • Best Trait: Frenzy
Wind Prince Evo Mythic	• A meta support unit • Works great both in Infinite and Progression • Best Trait: Frenzy
Ice Admiral & Evolution Mythic	• One of the better support units in the game • Both the Evolution and the base version are useful • Your go-to Water unit • Hybrid/Air at Upgrade 4 • Best Trait: Frenzy
Dark Beard Evo Legendary	• No longer a budget alternative support that slows enemy units at Upgrade 3 • The Evo is actually a really competitive pick with the slow • Essentially the massive slow debuff will increase the DPS of your main damage units since enemies will be in range of them for longer • Make sure to place Dark Beard right next to your main DPS but don’t place another Dark Beard too close to make the most of the debuff • Best Trait: Sharp Shooter
Oreheme Legendary	• Another budget alternative support that buffs your units. • Better than Dark Beard and Ice Admiral in my opinion due to the powerful buffs on your meta DPS units. • Best Trait: Sharp Shooter

Starter Highlights

These are some of the best starting units in Anime Final Strike. They offer cheap placements and good damage that will carry your early waves until you can farm up for the Meta units above. These work both for progression but mainly for Raids/Infinite.

Unit	Notes
Best Starters	• Great starters for Progression and Raid/Infinite • Note that Black Roku, Kaziru and Vejita can target Air • Vejita Super is the best one

Best Gem and Trait Farm Methods in Anime Final Strike

Here’s how to farm Gems, Traits and Perfect Stat Engrams in Anime Final Strike:

• Perfect Stat Engrams: Farm via the Gold shop, Free Daily Wheel Spins, rewards for progressing and of course codes which are linked below.
• Best Gems Farm: I recommend farming Event on Act 1 since I get 30-60k+ Gems overnight. The range depends on how good your team is and how many of the best DPS & Support units you have.
• Best Trait Farm: Raids (50), Tailed Beast Event (25), Dailies (9-11), Challenge every half an hour, Infinite to 15 and restart.

That’s it for my Anime Final Strike tier list and guide. The best way to get started on getting the strongest units is by claiming our Anime Final Strike codes for free spins and more goodies.
